Silicone caps generally grip hair more than latex, but this TYR cap is designed with a smooth finish to minimize friction. If you have long or thick hair, we recommend using a hair tie to secure it before putting the cap on to prevent pulling.

It is suitable for both. The design focuses on minimizing drag to create a streamlined profile, which is essential for competitive racing, while the durability makes it reliable enough for daily training sessions.
